Blind To The Truth

Time for a quick update on the happenings here in my home state of New York.

New York State is moving toward a head-on collision over same-sex "marriage." After Governor David Paterson (D) assumed office, he made a unilateral decision to recognize the out-of-state "marriages" of homosexuals.

This week, Paterson took his agenda a step further by instructing the Department of Health to list both same-sex partners on children's birth certificates. Under state law, a woman's husband is automatically listed as a parent of a child conceived through artificial insemination, even if he isn't the biological father. Homosexuals have complained that they deserve the same right.


Until Paterson's directive, gay and lesbian couples were required to file for adoption of their partner's child. Because it requires an additional legal step, two Canadian lesbians sued. Without waiting for a resolution from the court, the Governor took it upon himself to declare homosexual couples equal to married, heterosexuals, despite the fact that his own state doesn't recognize gay "marriage."

The policy shift is an important one, because it chips away at a fundamental defense of traditional marriage-procreation. Our friends at the Alliance Defense Fund are prepared to challenge. They rightly argue that these decisions belong in the hands of the legislature-not the Governor.

The spiritual significance of such a move will be devastating. In the beginning, homosexuality appears to have been an attempt by Satan to disrupt the lineage of the Messiah. It is the ultimate form of idolatry, and a cardinal indication that a society has come under siege to demonism, is socially accepted homosexuality (Spiritual Warfare: The Invisible Invasion by Thomas R. Horn; page 87).

Here's the bottom line: Even if we take religion OUT OF THE DEBATE we find that this is definitely not the road we want to go down.

In every historical survey of of past great civilizations, openly practiced homosexuality, preceded the demise of that society. This was true of Noah's day, Sodom, Gibeah, Corinth, Rome, Germany, and many others.

Guess who's next on that infamous list?
